Saludos al Centro de Musicoterapeutas Españoles e Investigación Sonora: Además de que podéis comprar con toda tranquilidad para nuestros cursos y estudios de musicoterapia el Band in a Box, os lo recomiendo que lo adquiráis cuanto antes, ya que de inmediato podéis acceder a una calidad extraordinaria de medios creativos, auditivos, de arreglos y grabación, que os permitirá crear, estudiar y practicar con una excelencia en calidad y al mismo tiempo con una gran sencillez de manejo. Hay aspectos que quizás notaréis en falta, como que el estudio de grabación (RealBand) esté en español, pero PG MUSIC se superan y mejoran día a día, (esperemos que pronto lo tengamos en español), y esto es hasta tal punto que incluso han abierto un post "Lista de deseos" para Band-in-a-Box . ¿Qué quisieras ver incluido en el programa? http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=324339&an=0&page=0#Post324339 Esto nos demuestra que están por la labor, son rápidos en el soporte técnico y también encontraréis aquí en el Foro una calidad excelente en Carlos Eduardo Arellano, responsable del foro en Español y colaborador con Band in a Box, de tal manera que podéis siempre plantear todas aquellas preguntas que no podáis resolver en vuestros manuales y tutoriales que vienen con la adquisición del programa. Paso ahora a responder vuestras preguntas: 1. queremos saber de qué manera este programa puede ser práctico para nuestros profesores y alumnos… El programa BB en la musicoterapia como en la música nos ofrece sobre todo poder acceder a la creación de arreglos con una calidad excepcional, esto es con grabaciones reales acústicas de músicos profesionales, donde dichas interpretaciones se adaptan a las armonías que libremente decidamos incorporar por escrito, esto es… en el compás escribiremos un Lam y su audición estará totalmente decidida por vosotros, esto es a elegir el estilo musical, y elegir entre una gran variedad de interpretaciones dentro de cada estilo musical, así como también el quitar o poner más o menos instrumentos… tonalidad, velocidad del tema… ya veréis que como músicos profesionales no encontraréis en absoluto en BB un programa con límites profesionales sino por el contrario un programa precursor y ejemplar a recomendar. Es ideal para todos aquellos que no quieran dedicarse a la música y si en cambio precisen de la creación de maquetas profesionales, playbacks, grabación de maquetas para sus discos y composiciones… Igualmente BB recomendable y eficaz para el estudio de música, ya sea para cantantes o bien instrumentistas… ideal, pues podemos elegir ambientes musicales con la cantidad de instrumentos que más nos convengan en cada momento… si tu eres guitarra o bajista… puedes enmudecer dicho instrumento y/o tocar tu encima al mismo tiempo del acompañamiento de BB… Para los compositores… sencillamente genial, además del BB que nos aporta los arreglos, el programa viene con un estudio de grabación genial de 48 pistas, todo tipo de efectos, reverb, compresor, ecualizador… Para la Investigación y la Musicoterapia… es un regalo de la vida, es un programa imprescindible… ya sé que parece que me den comisión por hablar tan bien del programa (no me dan comisión) es que hablo de él así, porque realmente es excelente. 2. la calidad del sonido, La calidad de sonido, es muy buena, profesional… pero ya entenderéis que en esta calidad final y general, hay que tener en cuenta todos los elementos que forman parte de vuestro estudio… voz, instrumentos, micros… y por supuesto vuestra línea de instalación eléctrica con toma de tierra (evita ruidos), silencio de lugar en donde grabáis… todo es importante, pero el programa viene muy bien preparado con todo lo que podáis necesitar. 3. estudio de grabación... Mirad, lo único que le noto a faltar para mí… es que de momento viene sólo en Inglés, y yo al no conocer el idioma, pues no puedo aprovecharlo tan bien como me encantaría (el BB si viene en español). 48 Pistas, efectos, reverb… 4. ¿Hay recortes en las frecuencias de muestreo? Podéis elegir la calidad de la frecuencia de muestreo y no recorta las frecuencias, por lo que podéis grabar desde 16bit a 22.05… o bien a 44.1, 48, 96, o incluso a 24bit desde 22.05 a 96. 5. que efectividad real hay en este programa para la investigación y la musicoterapia. Creo que todo lo anterior ya explicado, muestra suficientes aspectos que valoran y aseguran la efectividad y eficacia del programa, pero os voy a señalar varios recursos que nos ofrece que son de mucho valor. El análisis armónico os va a permitir conocer las funciones tonales de las armonizaciones, con lo que esta información os ayuda a conocer la cantidad de armonías más o menos estables o con más o menos tensión sonora… la posibilidad de poder incorporar instrumentos acústicos en cualquier estilo elegido, así como el poder elegir varios estilos dentro de un mismo tema musical… os ofrece grandes posibilidades para la creación de ambientes sonoros para la musicoterapia. Podéis mirad en mi web, en Investigación y Musicoterapia http://www.manuelsoler.com/musicoterapia/musica_y_salud.html donde encontraréis información al respecto de otros programas que tengo en cuenta en las grabaciones, pero os tengo que decir que el Band in a Box es para muchos profesionales y para mí mismo, uno de los programas más importantes en mis creaciones e investigaciones, así como recomendado a mis alumnos y compañeros profesionales. A mis alumnos de composición, investigación, musicoterapia… el Band in a Box, es un programa recomendado, estudiado en mis clases… y por supuesto fundamental en la creación de composiciones y ambientes sonoros para todo tipo de terapias, métodos, presentaciones, discos… e incluso conciertos, esperamos que en cuanto sea posible podamos ir presentado ejemplos de dichas creaciones con el Band in a Box de todo lo explicado y así compartir. Espero poderos haber ayudado y orientado en lo que preguntáis, quedando a vuestra disposición en lo que os pueda aportar. Atentamente.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
